Flashback: The Quest for Identity (Sega Genesis, 1993)

Flashback” was a very fun puzzle-solving game for the Sega Genesis. The objective was to move the character through a side-scrolling, wonderfully rendered, future landscape in order to help him regain his memory.

Primarily puzzle-solving with a bit of shoot ‘em up thrown in for good measure, “Flashback” had a great storyline, and fairly impressive graphics for its time. Though there was a distinct lack of music throughout the game, brief snippets would play at key moments to add to the excitement, but for the most part all that was heard in the game were sound effects (albeit cool sound effects).
